Please call Julia at 403.609.7231 if you are wondering which workshop is for you.
Joel's new psychodynamic method of music therapy, Archetypal Music Psychotherapy (AMP), is a combination of guided musical play, flow, mindfulness, dream work and reflection, activating both hemispheres of the brain, balancing creativity and practicality, discovering how the different aspects of yourself help move you toward a greater sense of wholeness.
You’ll get insight into parts of yourself you would like to know more about by identifying and amplifying some of our inner characters and core themes in your life.
"I was amazed at how fast this process opened me up to my inner world. Especially since I have basically no musical experience and I've never been to therapy before. I tapped into answers that I've been waiting to find for a long time. Even in this one short workshop I discovered a vitality within me that I didn't know I had!"
- J.S. (AMP workshop participant)
"Through this arts-based experiential workshop I offer a music therapy method for exploring the human condition through the creative emergence, personification and amplification of internal psyche characters. Through the experience of this self-administered psychodynamic method entitled Archetypal Music Psychotherapy we investigate the relationship between core Jungian principles, music therapy, mindfulness-based practices and therapeutic change. This method integrates interdisciplinary multi-media creative expressive arts modalities, including musical improvisation, mindfulness, songwriting, visual art, sculpture, free prose, filmmaking and improvisational gesture." Joel Kroeker
“AMP workshops have shown that compensatory images emerge from the unconscious as antidotes to various mental/psychological/emotional/spiritual states when musical improvisation is integrated with Jung's active imagination process and this journey of individuation can lead to meaningful therapeutic change."
